Siinfekl peptide

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

SIINFEKL peptide is a synthetic peptide sequence commonly used in immunological research. It serves as a model antigen for studying T-cell responses and immune system function. The peptide can be utilized in various in vitro and in vivo experimental settings to investigate topics such as antigen presentation, T-cell activation, and immune system dynamics.

1

Adoptive Transfer of OT-I T Cells and Costimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). OT-I RAG−/− transgenic mice were bred in-house. All mice were maintained in the UConn Health animal facility in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines. Spleen plus lymph node preparations from CD45.1+ RAG−/− OT-I transgenic mice containing 5 × 105 CD8+ T cells were adoptively transferred i.v. into CD45.2+ C57BL/6 recipients that were subsequently injected i.p. with 50 μg SIINFEKL peptide (Life Technologies; Grand Island, NY) and 30 μg Rat IgG or 20 μg anti-CD134 (clone OX86, Bio X Cell, Lebanon, NH) plus 10 μg of anti-CD137 (clone 3H3, Bio X Cell) agonists the following day as previously described (19 (link)) (20 (link)).

Equal numbers of OT-1 (CD45.1) and OT-1 x Rag2−/− (CD45.2) T cells were co-cultured in complete RPMI + 10% DBS with 1:1000 2-mercaptoethanool (Sigma) containing 1 μM SIINFEKL peptide or anti-CD3/28 beads (Lifetechnologies).

Adoptive Transfer of OTI Cells for Tumor-Specific Cytotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT or IFNγRKO OTI cells were transferred in tumor-bearing WT mice between 5 and 7 days after B16-OVA cell engraftment when the tumor was palpable. After 7 days of OTI adoptive transfer, mice were injected with a 1:1 ratio of Ova-targetable and non-targetable cells. Splenocytes from naïve B6 mice were isolated and split into two equal pools. Targetable cells were loaded with SIINFEKL peptide (1 µg/mL) and further labeled with high concentration CFSE (2 µM - Invitrogen). Non-targetable cells were not loaded but labeled with low CFSE (0.2uM). Peptide loading was performed in complete RPMI at 37 °C for 1 h. Cell labeling was done in PBS for 15 min at 37 °C. After cell preparation, cells were washed with PBS and pooled together for intravenous injections. After 24 h spleens were harvested and processed for flow cytometry analysis.

In order to measure the capacity of isolated immune cells to produce cytokines, before staining, cells were incubated at 37 °C for 5 h with 2 μM brefeldin A (BFA) to stop Golgi secretion, 1 μM SIINFEKL peptide, 0.04 μM PMA, and 0.5 μM ionomycin (Invitrogen).

Isolation and Activation of Immune Cells for In Vivo Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolation of CD8+ T cells or CD11c+ DCs was performed by immunomagnetic selection from splenocytes using Manual MACS Cell Separation Technology (QuadroMACS Separator, LS columns, CD8a [Ly-2] and CD11c MicroBeads; Miltenyi Biotec), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For in vitro experiments, SIINFEKL peptide (Invitrogen) was added at a concentration of 5 μM. In competitive in vivo experiments, 5 × 105 to 1 × 106 each of TCXCR4 and TControl were mixed into a 1:1 ratio before injection, and vaccination was performed at 24 hours and on day 29 by s.c. injection of 200 μM SIINFEKL or an irrelevant peptide in a 1:1 ratio with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (Sigma-Aldrich). Alternatively, mice received 1 × 106 CD11c+ peptide-loaded DCs intravenously.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
